It didn’t take long for Mike Ponsiglione to take advantage of available softball coaching options from Staten Island to fill out his staff at Brooklyn College.

The former St. Joseph by-the-Sea HS head coach announced that he has added former Tottenville HS Advance All-Stars Kaitlyn Flynn and Brittney Stratton as assistant coaches.

“Part of being a successful program, in addition to having good student-athletes, is surrounding them with people who know how to win,” said Ponsiglione, who was named interim coach at the CUNY school in late July. “In Brittney and Katie, as well as having coach Frank Izzo back, I feel we have accomplished that in assembling our staff.”

Flynn comes to Brooklyn from CSI, where she served as an assistant at her alma mater last season as the team won the conference championship and advanced to the NCAA Division III Tournament.

Flynn was a four-year starter for the Dolphins’ (2009-2012) and played on two CUNY title teams. She was a two-time CUNY Player of the Year and was the ECAC Division III Metro Softball Player of the Year in 2012.

Stratton, a three-time Advance All Star and two-time Smith Cup winner, spent the last two seasons as an assistant at Wagner College after a successful career at the University of Hartford.

The right-handed pitcher earned first- and second-team America East All-Conference selections, and was an all-rookie and all-tournament conference selection, as well.

During her four-year career, Stratton appeared in 99 games, posting a 53-35 record with 78 complete games. She is the all-time career leader at Hartford in games started, complete games, innings pitched (591), strikeouts (531) and wins. 
